Much of this book is spent with the main character running, hiding and just plain being scared, which considering his situation, I would be too. (He's been kidnapped and dropped off in the middle of the woods and is now being hunted). However, it takes up too much of the story and we really don't get to know any of the characters enough to really care about them, at least I didn't. Apparently, this is part of a trilogy, but I didn't interest me enough to continue with the story.
